Tanner Health and The Birches on Maple announce the opening of Tanner Primary Care at The Birches.

This clinic resides in The Birches on Maple, a 55+ community, and will operate Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is committed to serving the healthcare needs of residents of The Birches on Maple and the surrounding community.

The clinic will be led by Ruth Allison Griffin, FNP-C, an experienced and dedicated family nurse practitioner.

She earned her first bachelor's degree in dietetics and nutrition from the University of Mississippi, providing her with a special interest in how nutrition plays an integral role in overall physical health and well-being. She earned a bachelor's in nursing from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), where she served as a registered nurse in the intensive care and post-anesthesia care units. She continued to advance her studies, earning a master's in nursing as a family nurse practitioner (FNP) from UAB. Before joining Tanner Primary Care at the Birches, she practiced at Birmingham Internal Medicine Associates and, most recently, at Primary Care of Bremen.
